وَعَلَى هَذَا يُحْمَلُ اَلنَّفْيُ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُسْلِمٍ , خِلَافًا لِمَنْ أَعَلَّهَا. 1 .1 - قلت : نعم . ولكن بعد ثبوت رواية ابن خزيمة ، وقد تبين أنها لا تثبت ، وأما عن إعلال رواية مسلم، فقد أجاب الحافظ نفسه في "الفتح" أحسن جواب.
The negation (of recitation of the Bismillah) in the report of Muslim can be understood in light of this report (i.e. it was recited silently), as opposed to those who declared Muslim's report as being defective.
وَفِي أُخْرَى لِابْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ : { كَانُوا يُسِرُّونَ } . 11 - ابن خزيمة (498) ، بسند ضعيف ؛ أن رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- كان يسر ببسم الله الرحمن الرحيم في الصلاة ، وأبو بكر ، وعمر .
Narrated And in another report from Ibn Khuzaimah:
"They used to recite Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim silently."
"I prayed behind Abu Hurairah (RA) and he recited Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, and then recited Umm-ul-Qur'an
(Al-Fatiha) and when he reached walad-dallin, he said Amin; and then said Allahu Akbar, when he prostrated and when he stood up from his sitting position. And when he uttered the Taslim (i.e. As-Salamu 'Alaikum), he said, "I swear by the One (i.e. Allah) in Whose Hand my soul is, my Salat (prayer) resembles most that of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) than that of anyone among you."
